I believe there are two O2 sensors.   The one on the cat will be gone.   =
The other is on the headers, which stays.

I am not only going for more power, but with lighter weight, taller =
gears, and fuel injection, I hope to have improved efficiency as well. =20

Sounds like a fun prject. The only thing that comes to mins that you'll =
need the O2 sensors so you ECM can regulate the mixture.

"Nasty Boy" is what you'll have.
